Staff Reporter: Dhaka 5 April 2015: Millions of female garment workers have kept the industry rolling says a recent study. The report was made jointly by UNDP, BGMEA and BKMES. It shows that 95% garment workers both in woven and knit sectors are female who are working relentlessly to earn foreign exchange for the country which is the highest amongst all export sectors. This ratio is on increase since a number of female workers are joining this industry every day. Nasima a female worker from a knit factory at Tongi says It’s a great pride for me that I earn myself and support my family, But unfortunately my wages are not enough to live a descent life, Though these female workers are contributing to our economy, but unfortunately their living has not improved especially in health care and family planning. Few NGOs are working with them but that’s not enough. Mrs, Sumita an NGO worker says that much need s to be done for these impoverished workers and it’s not possible to improve their living standard without the support from the govt.
